Thomas A. Pence

A Junior at the Stern School of Business at New York University, I am majoring in Marketing and International Business
and minoring in Spanish Literature.
As an American raised in Paris who has also studied in Buenos Aires, I am fluent in three languages, and
have gained valuable exposure to different cultures. I have already used these assets in different
professional and personal endeavours and plan to orient my future career in fashion, public relations and communications, all with a global perspective.
